Of Turkish Coffee in Vienna
and being out of Focus


Turkish Coffee
and a sinfully good
chocolate mousse tarte
that comes as close to
Mississippi mud pie
as you'll ever get
this side of the Atlantic -
that, plus the expectation of
Cardamom flavoured Turkish coffee,
was enough to make me forget to focus
Note to myself: next time, set the camera on "automatic"


Out of focus at the Bakery at Hotel Daniel

  1. Before you think I am the Queen of Gluttony, please note that I shared this delight with my friend (not the coffee, though, she had to order her own, and loved it just as much as I do). Before that, we shared a perfectly healthy Falafel pita bread sandwich. ;-)

    A wonderful day to all of you,
    Merisi

  4. I could reach out and enjoy a little of the chocolate mousse tarte on that pretty table. The falafel sandwich sounds delicious, too.

  5. I think I might have a chocolate autofocus in the visual cortex of my brain, because I focused on that cake right away, no problem :-).

    1. I am afraid my visual cortex is at least a bar of chocolate too overloaded to be any good in this kind of situations. ;-)

    1. The copper pots are available all over Vienna, people from all over like coffee made the Turkish way (or Greek, depending on who makes it). A friend from Croatia prefers her coffee made like that, too. I am quite fond of it also. ;-)

    1. Sam, the moment I spied that pie behind the counter, Mississippi mud pie was what my brain kept calling. ;-)

  8. I like the softer focus, Merisi, and also the collection of circular items on that circular tabletop. (Have the Olympic circles intered your subconscious?) Ha ha! xo

    1. It was, indeed! And if I had not shared it with my friend, I would have had no qualms about eating it all. ;-)
